Visual inspection of the infant space also revealed that there was a buildup of dust/cobwebs on the ceiling fan, windows, ceiling beams and in the corners of the classroom.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) Infant space was deep cleaned to include removal of dust/cobwebs on ceiling fans, windows, beams, and corners of classroom. These items have been added to our infant room deep cleaning list and will be cleaned bi-weekly or as needed when soiled. For roof leak: please see attachment from Landlords Educare. A repair has been made to the roof via patching and replacement of flashing materials at the chimney. Water is no longer leaking but a larger issue has been found that will need further repairs. On March 25, 2018 the interior wood surfaces were treated with Sporicidin, an EPA registered fungicidal, bactericidal, virucidal, mildewcidal and tuberculocidal disinfectant solution that cleans, disinfects, and deodorizes. Sporicidin was applied to all visually apparent water-damaged ceiling materials surrounding the stone chimney in the west facing classroom. Following manufacturer usage directions, the Sporicidin solution thoroughly wetted the water-damaged areas for at least ten (10) minutes and was left to dry in place. Moving forward, operator will ensure all facility surfaces are kept clean, in good repair and free from visible hazards. |
